Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time45 minutes
Course: Dessert, Snack
Cuisine: French
Servings: 8

Ingredients

  • 145 g dried apricots, finely minced
  • 125 g almond butter
  • 125 g hazelnut butter (subst. almond butter if you don't have hazelnut)
  • 240 g unsweetened applesauce (banana/apple also works)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 20 g olive oil
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven à 180°C (350°F).
  • Add all ingredients in a stand mixer. Mix on medium speed with paddle attacvhment until dough is homogeneous.
  • Pour into a well-oiled rectangular glass mould (or a 20cm square dish). I find the rectangular dish allows a better rise and texture.
  • Cook for 30', then lower the heat at 160°C (325°F) and cook for another 15'.
    A knife inserted in the center must come out clean – except traces from apricots if you cut one on your way down 🙂
  • Serve as is for breakfast, snack, dessert.
    For a sweeter taste, add raspberry jam or fresh banana.
